🕙8 hrs agoNathan’s Hot Dog Duel: 1 Disqualified, 33 Buns, Urges Defy Science
While Sudo’s 33-dog triumph grabbed headlines, Barone’s fate became a trending search: why do hot dog eaters get sick on stage? What are the contest’s strict rules? Organizers refused to use the word “vomit,” comparing it to “saying Voldemort”—as if Coney Island’s boardwalk had a spell for dignity. Barone, age 24, did not comment.
Nathan’s Hot Dog Contest 2025 saw 33 buns devoured, yet one competitor was disqualified for “urges contrary to swallowing.” What happens after eating 30 hot dogs? Why do contestants get DQ’d? Judges fear uttering the V-word, like Voldemort with ketchup.
